"Absolutely fantastic"
Anton Melrose II, chief of the western division of the
United Psychical Research Association, informs employee
Summoner Alegra Telford that if does not succeed soon she
will return from London for the states. Alegra feels like
a failure as she is in England because that is where many
ghosts haunt and as a Summoner, she should be able to make
contact. Moravian Dark One Christian Dante detests swinging London
though he swings the scene in an attempt that seems futile
to find his cherished one; only she can save his soul with
her love. His nightmare wait suddenly turns to a blissful
dream when he meets Alegra who thinks she has summoned him
through the portals of the netherworld. He persuades her
that he has never even visited the place, but as a
vampire, he hopes that she will insure that he never
does. When Alegra finally succeeds in summoning ghosts,
she comes to the attention of worshippers of the dark and
their malevolent evil spirit. Only with Christian's help
can she hope to remain safe even as she finds herself
reciprocating the love he feels for her. SEX AND THE SINGLE VAMPIRE is an amusing paranormal
romance starring two delightful protagonists, a horde of
supernatural creatures that make the beyond seem real plus
the return of Alegra's pals from A GIRL'S GUIDE TO
VAMPIRES. The story line hooks the audience the moment
that Christian and Alegra meet because the reader can feel
the attraction and that sets in motion the dangerous
gathering of a deadly entity and his followers. Horror
romance readers will enjoy this one-bite sitting teeth in
cheek (and neck) tale. Harriet Klausner

Allegra's Dictionary of the Paranormal
Dark One n. [Origin: Czech, also known as vampires]
A
Moravian Dark One is doomed to spend his liftime cruising
the singles' scene in search of the one woman who can
redeem his soul. You think dating is hard? Try it when
you're nine hundred years old and you've used every pick-up
line in the book. Forming a lasting relationship is even
more difficult when the woman who makes your heart sing
sees dead people and likes to play with demons.
Summoner n. [Origin English] Someone who summons
ghosts,
poltergeists, and demon lords. Summoners tend to hang
around cities like London that are filled with portals to
Hell, haunted inns, and other locations dishy vampires
might be found lurking. Most Summoners are female, which
makes for difficulties when it comes to explaining to the
man who haunts your dreams and fills your soul with love
why your pet ghosts can be found hovering around even the
most romantic of circumstances.
